A fair and delicate face appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, with dark and clear eyes, a little round nose, a very moist line of the jaw, soft hair against the cheeks, and a refreshing smile on the face. This face is not stunning, but it is very comfortable and durable. The first impression it gives people is that it is gentle and harmless.
Mrs. Li's eyes lit up: "It's obvious that she is a good-tempered person."
"Yes, it's very gentle, the cooking is delicious, and it's very good at taking care of people." Li Shuo felt sincerely happy.
From the first meeting, he knew that Li Chengxiu met at least 80% of his expectations for his partner, and it happened to appear at the age when he wanted to settle down. It was the so-called "right time and right person", so he did something that went against his principles - he snatched Li Chengxiu from another person. Although doing so caused some trouble, he balanced the gains and losses, and he did not regret it.
He liked Li Chengxiu. He not only helped him win the person he liked to him, but also saved Li Chengxiu from that person's harm.
"Why didn't you bring him back to have fun this time?" Mr. Li asked.
"He wants to go to work, and you are so anxious to call me back, how can he have time to apply for a visa?" Speaking of this, Li Shuo said curiously, "Dad, what are you asking me back this time? Is it a hurry? It's related to Ennan Group?"
The author has something to say: Zhao Jinxin is a character with a new personality, which makes me so happy~~
PS: "x" means kiss in informal written English
Chapter 3
"Oh, it's nothing, it's your Uncle Zhao who wants to see you."
"See me? Why?" Li Shuo was quite surprised.
He only met Zhao Rongtian, chairman of Ennan Group. Once, it was the first year party of Zhao Rongtian's only son. He was still very young at that time. His father and Zhao Rongtian were just common friends. Once, when he was writing a paper, he interviewed several Chinese business leaders in New York. He did not make an appointment through his father, so he finally made an appointment and only said ten minutes. Zhao Rongtian didn't know who he was, and probably forgot about that matter now.
"Your Uncle Zhao's business was mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River area. Now if you want to expand trade in the north, you need to set up a branch in Beijing and find an accounting firm that you can cooperate with for a long time. You are in Beijing."
"Oh." Li Shuo smiled, "It's a good thing, so you can talk about it." But there is no need to recall him to the United States for this matter. It's probably because his parents miss him. Although he is willing to accompany his parents, he is really worried about Li Chengxiu now. He plans to go back immediately after seeing Zhao Rongtian and bring Li Chengxiu back together on Christmas.
"Have you never met your Uncle Zhao?"
"I've seen it when I was a kid, but when you worked together, I've left the United States."
"Well, he is a very visionary and wise person. If you talk to him more, you should also thank Mrs. Zhao. She proposed to cooperate with you. It is rare that she remembers you."
"OK."
"He has a son, do you remember?"
"I have an impression, I have a son when I am old, and it is very precious." Li Shuo also had an impression of the first year banquet he attended when he was twelve years old. As the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and a celebrity in Manhattan, the first year banquet became a social ceremony. When he was a child, he was a little pretentious, and he always wanted to talk to others about Byron's age. He did not appreciate the style of Zhao's family's combination of Chinese and Western styles. I remember that several children of the same age wanted to hold a baby and play with him. One child even spoke. The nurse of the Zhao family pretended not to understand Chinese, and his eyes turned to the sky. After all, she was holding a noble young man who was hard to find. He could see clearly from the side. Although he was curious about the baby who was carved with jade and laughed at everyone, he didn't step forward.
"Your Uncle Zhao sent his son to the Beijing Urban Management Branch. You will also see him this time. From now on, you will be a family friend and a partner."
Li Shuo smiled calmly: "Okay." Zhao Rongtian and his wife are famous for their despicable son. He really doubted that person's ability. I hope it is not a difficult role, otherwise wouldn't it be a trouble for him to get caught between Zhao Rongtian and his father?
"What are you talking about when you get home? My son hasn't eaten yet." Mrs. Li took her son's hand and said, "It's going to start soon. I'll show you the little cabbage I grow, which is so beautiful."
Li Shuo followed with a smile.
After dinner, Li Shuo felt very tired, so he fell asleep on the bed after taking a shower.
When he woke up, it was getting dark. He looked at his watch. Although Li Chengxiu woke up at this time, his parents were ready to fall asleep.
Li Shuo took a photo of himself not shaving and sent it to Li Chengxiu. In the photo, he seemed listless and the jet lag was really troublesome.
Li Chengxiu quickly replied to a text message: You look very tired, please have a good rest.
Li Shuo called.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and a gentle, careful voice sounded: "International long distance...is very expensive, let's send a text message."
Li Shuo laughed: "It's okay, I want to hear your voice."
Li Chengxiu chuckled: "Where are you now?"
"It's ten o'clock in the evening. I wanted you to videotape with my mom, but she's already asleep."
"Video..." Li Chengxiu said timidly, "No, it's not good."
"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you? My parents know my sexuality, and they respect me very much."
"But..." The tone on the other end of the phone was very hesitant.
"If you feel uncomfortable, then don't have a video. How about saying a few words? My parents are very curious about you."
"Yeah, OK."
"I will go back to accompany you soon after finishing the work. If you are bored, go and play with Xiaohui. Don't be bored, okay?"
"good."
"Cheng Xiu." Li Shuo said softly, "You will like my parents, and my parents will also like you. You don't have to have any burden by your side."
A gentle sniffle came from the other end of the phone, and Li Chengxiu whispered: "Brother Li, I know."
Early the next morning, Li Shuo and his father went to play tennis. This was a sport between his mother and his son and he played since childhood. When he was in college, he participated in the National College Tennis League and entered the quarter-finals.
After exercising all morning, I took my parents to a French restaurant where they often went for dinner and went shopping with his mother in the afternoon.
As an only child, he is on the other side of the ocean all year round. He always feels that he owes his parents. Every time he goes home, he spends most of his time with his family.
At dusk, he returned home and changed into a set of clothes. Uncle Guang sent the family of three to Zhao Rongtian's family dinner.
Mr. Li was recently brought by Uncle Guang and fell in love with Kunqu Opera. The two of them sang in the car, which made Li Shuo and his son laugh.
Zhao Rongtian lives in the heart of the Upper East District, adjacent to Central Park, and built a small artificial lake himself. It is the only Chinese-style mansion in the Upper East District. I remember that this mansion has been to domestic media, but this is Li Shuo's first time here.
Uncle Guang parked his car at the door of the mansion under the guidance of Baoquan.
Li Shuo said: "Uncle Guang, don't fall asleep when you listen to the song. Remember to leave some space in the car window."
Uncle Guang waved his hand: "No."
"Wait for us, be good." Li Shuo smiled and patted Uncle Guang's shoulder.
Mrs. Li got out of the car, and Li Shuo bent down to tidy up her slightly wrinkled skirt.
With just one look down, he heard a strong baritone calling his father's name.
As soon as he looked up, Zhao Rongtian took his wife out to greet them, and a tall young man was following him.
The moment Li Shuo saw the human face clearly, his mind suddenly exploded.
Zhao, Zhao Jinxin?!
Zhao Jinxin looked at him meaningfully, then showed a well-behaved and likable smile: "Hello Uncle Li, hello aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time, why is your aunt getting younger and more beautiful?"
Mrs. Li smiled so hard that her eyes were bent: "Jin Xin has grown up, and her mouth is still so sweet."
Zhao Jinxin's eyes fell on Li Shuo, and he looked surprised: "Is this the eldest brother? So handsome."
"Hello." Li Shuo nodded to Zhao Jinxin. The two of them seemed to have never seen each other before. He smiled generously and appropriately: "Hello Uncle Zhao, and hello Auntie."
"Oh, what a handsome talent." Zhao Rongtian looked up and down Li Shuo and said with a smile, "I saw you last time I was a child."
